I ran into situation that I have not seen before. The gfci receptacle tester would not trip any of the Eaton 1-pole (bolt on) breakers in the 120/208 volt panel.
1) This a new commercial project.
2) When you push the test button on the breaker, it trips the breaker.
3) The plug-in receptacle tester is an Ideal #61-501 and works on gfci receptacles that were tested just before and after this situation.
3) The plug-in receptacle tester indicates that the receptacle is wired correctly.
4) When you push the gfci test button on the plug-in receptacle tester, is does not trip the gfci breaker, but indicates "Hot and Neutral Reversed"when the test button is held down.
5) I do not know what the ms timing rating of the plug-in tester or the breakers in question are. They may not be compatible.
6) I tested several of the gfci breakers in the panel with the same results.
Any help on this sure would be appreciated. Thanks!
